My name is Paul Atkinson and I’m the creator of Bishops Personal Agents. I set up the company after successfully working in the estate agency industry for over a decade. Using my experience and local knowledge, I’m looking to offer the local area a more personal and transparent estate agency service.
I am passionate about the area I live and work in and know what it has to offer to potential buyers.
At Bishops, you will have your own personal estate agent who will deal with the whole process from start to finish and will be your point of contact throughout to completion. From the first meeting at your valuation, to taking the photos, making your brochure, floor plan and providing your property tour, to dealing with the solicitors through to completion and handing over the keys.
We’re so confident of our service that, in the unlikely case that a property does not sell, we will not charge you any fees.
If you wish to book a complimentary property valuation or discuss our property sales process in more detail, please do contact me direct.
Bishops Personal Agents currently operate in and around The City of York and surrounding villages.

Paul of Bishops did a fantastic job in selling my property and is the best estate agent in York. Unlike many other estate agents he is not at all pushy and is very knowledgeable and honest. I would recommend him without hesitation.... Read more

Fantastic experience with Paul. Viewed a property in York ultimately ended up choosing a different one with another agent which was more suited to my family. Nevertheless, Paul generously took the time to share lots of information and recommendations, e.g regarding recommendations for tradespeople, which reveals a lot about his great customer service, even when there's no commercial benefit to him.
Would recommend.... Read more

Paul at Bishops sold my Dads house on Bishopthorpe Road. We initially used another company but became quickly disillusioned by the fact that they would keep sending out estate agents for viewings and that knew nothing about the house or the area. We asked Paul to come and discuss his services he provided and was impressed by the fact he is a one-stop-shop. The house sold yesterday and we have been over the moon with the service provided. Throughout the process, Paul has stood by his word and was an amazing link between the purchaser and the two solicitors. He provided us with regular updates and was incredibly prompt in responding to our questions. Paul did all the viewings and was knowledgably about both the property and the area. My Dad and ourselves no longer live in York so Paul very kindly let the buyers into the property on numerous occasions along with builders, architects and interior designers. He was a pleasure to talk to and dealt with our queries in a very cheery manner. We would have no hesitation in recommending Paul and think his approach to selling houses was definitely the right one for my Dad.... Read more

I don't normally write reviews, i also didn't end up using Paul's services, however if and when i am selling in the future i will be back! Super professional, super polite, and has been so laid back with Zero pressure! All my other previous experience of state agents has felt like a hard sell. Paul was the opposite. Thanks... Read more

Fantastic, 10/10 would recommend and will be using again.
My flat was on the market with another estate agents in York (rhymes with bAshton's) for months, I had no leads or viewings.
Within 2 weeks I had multiple viewings and an offer!
I can’t recommend Paul highly enough.... Read more

Property listings are matched to data from the Land Registry by our clever algorithm. Clever as it may be, it isn't always right, especially if a property was listed by multiple agents. The asking price is the original listing price, NOT the final listing price.
